Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.7

[gismo1554]

Weather.com changed the radar maps in motion because they're revising their website. I think I've re-located it. See if this works better:

http://www.weather.com/maps/maptype/satelliteworld/europeafricaglobalsatellite_large_animated.html

This shows (I think) where hurricanes come from, and may indicate how the season is progressing.

There's also a very good one from Environment Canada which shows a slightly different view:

Sorry for the mix-up - and I've been away so didn't know it was a problem.

Richard

Oh thanks for this! Thought maybe it was my PC!

Hello all....the Magic really looks great.....and now a question from my DW....on this transatlantic cruise....will they have themed t-shirts and sweatshirts from the WB transatlantic? I already know that I am in trouble with those special pocketbooks that they are selling....gonna wipe out our onboard credit in one single transaction....and we have 2 weeks on the ship to spend money....or should I say my wife has 2 weeks to spend money....ah....its just money....I can always make some more...
Tom

Last time they did have seperate TA merchandise so I would assume so. It may be that they combine both TA's so they aren't specific to the EB/WB but not sure. Maybe Krisann can give us inside information from the EBTA?? Last time they also sold off the Med cruise stuff on the WBTA cheaply towards the end of the cruise as they hadn't scheduled any more med cruises at that point. They may well do the same with Baltics/Meds???

 

[gismo1554]

Pardon me if this was already discussed. Will the pillowcase/t-shirt, etc. signing by the characters be available on this cruise? We have given them as gifts and would like to do it again.

Thanks,
Andrea

Don't know! Have however put it in the navigator so if someone knows please let me know!

Hubby has been saving his quarters for laundry. Does anyone know if they are still using quarters in the laundry machines on board or are they now on our key cards. After the EB REPO they were suppose to replace the machines. They were in bad shape on deck 2, but that was two years ago.

Thanks!

Theresa

I thinks its all KTTW cards now!

 

[gismo1554]

A question my Mum asked, are we likely to see any wildlife while crossing the Atlantic? Dolphin or whales particularly - she's wondering whether to take her binoculars.

OK well during the WBTA last time there were dolphins and whales spotted near Tennerife and Gibraltar. Gibraltar is a definate for Dolphins (we saw some) but I didn't personally see any we were just told about them off other people.

So sorry I haven't been posting for a couple of days, you wouldn't believe the last couple of days i have had! Let me start with a little background. My mum has been in a relationship with a man for about 4-5 years, she left him about 6 months ago. Their house is in his name, but when mum sold her house she put a large chunk of money on his home loan as they were in a relationship, it was about $300 000. Since she has left him, her lawyer has started proceedings to retrieve Mum's money, as that was the deal agreed upon. He had to sign all the paperwork last week and was not happy that the house would be sold and he would come out with virtually nothing. So, on Saturday night he burnt the house down, yes...I am serious, he burnt the house to the ground. Luckily Mum had removed all of her things 2 weeks ago with Police present as she was scared of him and what he would do. But the house is completely gone. He has been arrested and charged with Arson, and faced court today.
We have now learnt of his history, and he is a con man who has done this before. He tries to scam women out of money, and has a trail of victims.
Honestly, It is embarrassing to tell people this as it makes us sound like some crazy, weird family. But the truth is, My mum works at Corrective Services, my sister is a psychologist and works as a parole officer, my brother owns a successful JetSki business, and we are all good people.
Anyway, I feel safe with you guys, I know your not judgmental, and I promise we are really nice, good people......maybe a little too trusting.......obviously......

So, I have been reading on my iPhone, just haven't had a chance to get to the computer. I know there was lots of people I wanted to reply to, please forgive me, I'm back now!

Oh Hayley I am so so sorry for everything! I can't believe sometimes how many horrible people there are in the world! I hope your Mum gets over this soon! There is nothing to feel embaressed about! We all have faith in people and sometimes those people just turn out to be evil! I always believe that they will get whats coming to them eventually!

OMG - that is so horrible for your Mom. It's must be so difficult to put your trust into someone and then find out they were only using you. What a jerk! I know your Mom is glad that she has the support of her family (and you have the support of your DIS family!). I hope she can work through this and learn to trust again.

There were dolphin sightings on the 2010 EBTA.

Hi Sarah, did send you a pm at the weekend...can you let me know if you didn't get it?

Didn't get it Mandy .... sorry. Can you resend?

Yes, you use your KTTW cards for the laundry and the charges are just added to your bill. So much easier than the quarters! Connie

Easier but double the cost.

Apart from pillowslips and photo frames, what else do people get autographed by the characters?

Don't know! Have however put it in the navigator so if someone knows please let me know!

I think this time I'm going with pillowSHAMS rather than pillowcases since they will get much less wear and washing and will last longer. I've heard of t-shirts, throw pillow cases, hats.

Unlike the 2008 PC cruises where the merchandise had both repo cruises on them - the EBTA had its own merchandise with just the EBTA info on it. So I would guess the same for the WBTA - there may have been somethings that had both but most was not.

no quarters anymore! Take them all to the bank and exchange them for $2 bills for room service!

A question my Mum asked, are we likely to see any wildlife while crossing the Atlantic? Dolphin or whales particularly - she's wondering whether to take her binoculars.

We saw things on the EBTA - take them - we even bought a newer stronger pair at shutters.

double post

how terrible! we are here for you!

So sorry. Sending good vibes your way for sorting all this out. The hardest thing is when love and trust backfire (yes, that was a pun; gotta keep smiling )

Your poor mum. I am SO sorry that she's going through all of this and of course I know that it affects you, too. I can only echo everything everyone else has already stated....I hope she can find trust again, I hope she gets some of her investment back, I hope the AH rots in jail, and I hope you know we're all here for you! I'm thankful that she has you to help her get through this traumatic time.

Apart from pillowslips and photo frames, what else do people get autographed by the characters?

Cheers

As I previously mentioned, a cookbook or another special book or album cover is a nice medium. I've also put 4.5" x 6.5" sheets of transparency film on a loose-leaf book ring for each character to sign. I've used those signatures to put over pictures (to make it look like the photo itself was signed) and as embellishments to my scrapbooks. A hat is another idea I've seen posted.

Oh Dear! Your poor Mum! Bad things do happen to good people. Hopefully your Mum will regain her trust eventually. In the meantime, she has her family and you have us to lean on.

Thanks Lynne. Poor mum, she keeps saying "I feel like such an idiot". She just wanted love and companionship, and got a crazy lunatic!
I'm so glad to have my Dis friends to spill to

Love and companionship really is what we all want. Creeps like this guy know that and prey on that need. I'm glad we can be here for you.

I just realised ......


WE ARE IN THE 50s !!!!!!!!!!



59 DAYS UNTIL WE FLY TO BARCELONA !!!!

Attention Champagne Girls

OK so through all this I haven't paid attention to when the meet is going to be? I'm going to add it into the Navigator but I cant remember whats going on now! My brain hurts!

 

[BoosGram]

We saw loads of dolphins swimming with the ship on the PC cruise, but I would love to see whales now as well.

We saw a sunfish on the PC cruise too. I had never heard of them, and it looked like a giant fish swimming on it's side. We asked someone what it was.

Lots of flying fish and turtles too.

I hope we get to see some sealife, too. We did see flying fish once; that was really cool.
